Former head of the Spanish government José María Aznar reasserted his criticisms against leftwing Latin American governments deemed as populists, and accused Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez of hammering a “counter-system” alliance to web links with radical Islamism.

Aznar’s comments came late Tuesday in Mexico, AFP reported.

“Populism is spreading at an alarming pace over several countries in the Americas. There is no hope in these faked alternatives, as they will not free anyone, they will not improve the conditions of anyone,” he added.

Jose Maria Aznar also met with Marcel Granier, the head of Radio Caracas TV (RCTV), while in Mexico City promoting democracy and freedom in Latin and South America. Granier said after meeting with Aznar that he may air programmes into Venezuela from Mexico.
